Play streams from this server using the URL
rtsp://0.0.0.0:8554/<filename>
where <filename> is a file present in the current directory.
Each file's type is inferred from its name suffix:
    ".aac" => an AAC Audio (ADTS format) file
    ".amr" => an AMR Audio file
    ".m4e" => a MPEG-4 Video Elementary Stream file
    ".dv" => a DV Video file
    ".mp3" => a MPEG-1 or 2 Audio file
    ".mpg" => a MPEG-1 or 2 Program Stream (audio+video) file
    ".ts" => a MPEG Transport Stream file
(a ".tsx" index file - if present - provides server 'trick play' support)
    ".wav" => a WAV Audio file
See http://www.live555.com/mediaServer/ for additional documentation.

That is indeed strange.

Not really. The code uses multicast to (try to) figure out the host's IP address. This error is usually caused by not having IP multicast configured properly on your system.

Make sure that you have a route for 224.0.0/4
I found the source of the problem.
The firewall! I had to allow  route  to  224.0.0.0/4

It all works now. Thanks!!

Cheers,
